Music for the Jilted Generation

Music for the Jilted Generation turns rave into a rage record. Breakbeat science, dark euphoria and the pressure of the Criminal Justice Bill run through an album that barely lets up, with 'Voodoo People' and 'Their Law' carrying the anger into huge rooms. When the momentum blurs, it is usually because the record has been pushing so hard for so long.

Rave grown paranoid and armed, made by a producer who had watched his scene get legislated against and took it personally. Their Law and Voodoo People are the famous ones; the record is angrier and stranger than either, and it is the only album here with a political argument.
